Thread: [Event 04] Advent Battle vs Typhon

Is Typhon a fire boost only? Or is it dual element like the last three (dark/fire, light/thunder etc).

Fire only

From Typhon onward, almost every event eidolon will be single element. There will be two exceptions way off in the future, and one of those two exceptions doesn't raise attack. The other exception is part of a series that has its own gimmick.

Looked away for a second and trash mobs killed my Mordred while still on stage 1 ultimate. Jeez.

Ultimate is bad and wrong. Ultimate is badwrong.

The boss will eat Mordred alive:
1) clears all debuffs in 1 move.
2) AOE that does 4k to all (even water KH).

Yea, it hurt real bad. Used its overdrive attack and basically killed my entire party.

Just did Ultimate twice. This fight is definitely a step up in difficulty from Garuda.

Typhon has 3 moves to watch out for:
Special (used randomly): Clears all debuffs
Overdrive (normal): Does 1-1.5k damage to entire group, attack up on Typhon
Overdrive (rage): Does 3-3.5k damage to entire group

Cassiopeia is your best friend on this fight to clear the ATK UP buff, and also for the extra healing. Debuffs are less effective since Typhon regularly clears them. If you have DEF DWN, you might want to save it for your Burst. Otherwise, buffs and raw attack power will serve you well. The goal is to clear the boss before damage accumulates; avoid letting the boss get off an overdrive during rage at all costs. Clear ATK UP buffs immediately (including on trash), or the extra damage will overwhelm you. DEF UP buffs are helpful to mitigate the AoE damage from the normal Overdrive.

Seems the AI isn't that smart either. Using its debuff recovery even when it has no debuffs on.

Tried again with my Arthur/Light team, went better and managed to clear before Overdrive fully charged. Might try Cassiopeia.

Only major problem is friend support is all over the place since people trying to use water teams.

As long as you have Chaos Magic equipped as an extra skill, you'll be ready for any contingencies. Using Cassiopeia herself is not mandatory.

title, i'm kinda new, i started like 1 week ago and have no idea if grimoires are useful/worth event materials

Hahaha. To think I unlocked and trained Mordred JUST for this boss a few days ago.
